Comixology Announces New York Comic Con 2025 Plans: Scavenger Hunt, Signings, More

Comixology is logging in to New York Comic Con 2025 with some big plans, including a scavenger hunt featuring Kindle Colorsoft and much more.

“We’re thrilled to be teaming up with Kindle for NYCC 2025, especially after their hot off the press announcement about the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft that, with its 11-inch color display, is going to be huge for digital comics reading,” said Jeff DiBartolomeo, GM and CTO of Comixology, via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “Following the success of the Comixology x Kindle Colorsoft Scavenger Hunt at SDCC earlier this year, we’re excited to bring it to NYCC! We invite attendees to join us and our many publishing partners in this celebration of comics, reading, and of the massive, diverse library of comics – from classics to today’s newest releases – available through more than 150 publishers on Comixology and Kindle.”

Located at booth #4454 at the Javits Center, the scavenger hunt will send attendees to visit the booths and tables of publishers and creators featured on Comixology and Kindle. Those include: Abrams ComicArts, AWA, DC Comics, IDW, Mad Cave Studios, Oni Press, Scholastic, Vault Comics, YEN Press, Zenescope, and Comixology Originals creators Alex Segura, Erica Schultz, Frank J. Barbiere, Jamal Igle, Jock, Kim-Joy, Scott Snyder, and more.

Once you find these folks (or companies), you can scan a QR code that unlocks rewards including “free digital comics, discounts, and the chance to win a Kindle Colorsoft.” However, you must be 18 years or older to play, so sorry, kids.
